I ordered a strawberry matcha here, and when I got to the register, I was shocked to find out it was $12--with no price listed anywhere. I figured maybe it was worth it, but unfortunately, it was not. The drink was bland, barely tasted like matcha, and had an artificial strawberry flavor. Definitely not worth the price. If you're going to charge that much for a drink, at least make sure it's good--or be upfront about the cost. Won't be coming back. read more

Best fresh bread in the OC. Always stop by when I'm around and great friendly staff. Only wish would be that they offered some pre-sliced loaves. read more

I love pastries and I'm glad this one is open so then I don't have to go to Newport. I like the different pastures they have here like: banana bread, cookies, and etc. Every time I come here the people are kind and if I'm curious about a pastry they tell me about it. The ambience since pretty chill. I love coming here for cookies. I l follow their instagram and receive their emails so I can see what they have this month or week. read more

Rye Goods - Cookies - Bakeries Near Me - Tustin, California

service was fine. nothing outstanding. i've tried this place 4 times and i get something different every time, and i end up throwing it out. the lattes are not very good and their baked goods in the case are dry and don't taste good. i've heard good things but in my experience it was not a hit. bummer. read more

I recently attended a UCLA event in the Tustin location. After the event, I bought a baguette because it was supposed to be sourdough. It tasted no different from a regular baguette. And this one cost $8-10. The thing that floored me, however, was the $12 blueberry tart!!! That is highway robbery, and it tasted no better than the $5.99 blueberry tart at my favorite bakery. I was so disappointed and felt cheated. Had I seen the price of the tart beforehand, I wouldn't have bought it. Unfortunately for me, I didn't realize it until I got my receipt. Buyer Beware!! read more

Great bread - I've tried country, sesame, five seeds, and porridge - all slightly different, but all sourdough based with great texture. They range from $12-15. The pastries always look tempting, however, I've been a bit disappointed after trying several of them (butter croissant, almond croissant, turnover etc.). The croissants were all made from sourdough, so it's not as flaky as a typical French croissant, but a lot more dense/firm - so not really my style. The bagels, on the other hand, are delicious. There is a egg sandwich version or you can get them just toasted with cream cheese. I don't know if they make them in house, but their chive cream cheese is amazing (especially paired with everything bagel toasted). Pricey, yes, but worth it since we can't find equally good breads elsewhere in Irvine/Newport. read more

[More of a 3.5] Came here on a Saturday morning and it seems like they're either in a soft open or no one knows it exists yet?? Parking was plentiful and you need to enter by the walkway that says Entrance up top. There's a bit of construction going on for a portion of the shop and their next door neighbor but it's pretty clear where to go once you get into the foyer. My favorite part about this place was the beautiful, spacious, aesthetic seating area. Awesome place to have people meet up. There was an outdoor space too that looked great and had a fire pit (but was way too cold for a brisk (for OC lol) Saturday AM). I'm unsure if I'd go back due to the person who was first to reviews notes. I bought 2 pastries and was shocked at the register when it rang up to $16.80. I think croissants are an art form and totally worth paying the price for as I'd literally never make them myself but at $8 each I don't think I can justify it. (Though inflation has been super hard on business so I get that.) As for the pastries themselves, I always get an almond croissant and a pistachio croissant if I see one at a coffee shop or bakery. Almond croissant was honestly 2/5 for me - it was super crunchy/hard. It wasn't of the caliber of similar pastry shops. My husband got the specially (might've spelled that wrong) croissant which was pistachio, raspberry, and some powdered sugar. This was also quite mid as the pistachio was too subtle to be tasted (I think it was more of a fine crushed pistachio vibe if anything). It was softer than my crunchy almond croissant so I will give it that. It was square in shape and kind of thin so overall nothing memorable for being a specialty item. 3/5 Folks at the register and helping us were super nice. Looks like a decent place for grab and go bread products. I wasn't that impressed but am down to go back to buy a loaf for the week. I'm hoping I had an off experience! read more

The bread and desserts here are fantastic! Service was friendly and very helpful. The quality of their products is outstanding, and I love that they always have something new on the menu. Prices are high, but well worth the splurge! We have tried almost everything I have to offer over span of several visits, and one is better than the next! Highly recommended! read more

If you are looking for a place to chill and enjoy baked goods, this is the place for you. It is a bit pricey for the serving sizes. You can purchase frozen items as well like empanadas and breads. The service was quick and the staff were efficient. I'd probably return for the vibes but I'd probably pass on the food. I got the seasonal veggie soup which was a bit bland and the savory croissant which was quite hard and bitter. The drip coffee was ok. read more

The rosemary latte was great, but I ordered a sandwich and there was not a lot of people who had ordered food and they took almost an hr to bring it out. The food is good and the coffee but the service at this location was not the best. read more

Loved this place! It has a big selection of fresh baked good and coffee. Plenty of sitting area and service was friendly. The only things is that it is on the pricier side. I spend $30 on two lattes and two pastries. It's definetly worth it but more of a special treat for me. For sure not my everyday to go place. read more

Tustin is off Redhill drive to the back. This is the main bakery and a large open space for sitting and eating in. Great bread, pastries, and coffee. Rye Breakfast is very good eggs, avocado, Yukon potatoes and bread slices. Coffee selection is good! New Costa Mesa opens on Friday June 13. 17th Street / they moved from Newport Beach for more space. read more

I absolutely love the Rye Goods on Lido, but this location is meh. I don't know what it is but the quality and selection just isn't as good here. The pastries were super salty and a lot of stuff that is listed on the menu they don't have in-house. If you want the full Rye Goods experience visit their location in Newport or Laguna - excellent menu, and the pastries and bread there have always been top-notch. read more

Let me start off with the service is awful. The staff acts like you're putting them out for absolutely anything you ask. There are no substitutions so don't bother asking even if you don't want your mouth burned off by the many spicy things that they seem to think vegetarians enjoy. It's almost like they think vegetarians don't like vegetables or eggs or bread cause you can't taste them once your mouth is on fire with the hot sauce as they add. Don't ask for sugar they don't have any with your coffee, but you can have some agave syrup and a little terrene on the side but when you ask, you will get a dirty look. Speaking of dirty, the place is very clean and well kept by the custodial staff so that is a plus. The food that is not spicy is delicious. I am one of those people who take off spicy sauces. My friend was not so lucky. Yeah I am a vegetarian who loves the taste of my food. I don't think I'll return, which is sad for me because I did like a lot of of the bakery items, when they don't run out of them by 1 PM, and also I like the principle of having good healthy food. It might also be sad for them because between soup and two breakfast and six cookies I paid over $100. (this is of course, including the tip that I included automatically because I always tip servers regardless of service because I feel that's what's expected and appropriate) And I also think it's appropriate to warn others. If you come here get food to go, maybe even order online or better yet maybe ask DoorDash to do it for you so you don't have to interact with the staff at all. I just don't feel like these people are happy. By the way, this is my first negative yelp review ever. read more

I really liked the spacious dining area, the food(Avocado toast and Peach toast) and the service. I accidently spilled the drink and it was a big mess but when I told the cashier he quickly came out to clean up the table and the floor. He was very polite and courteous. I also bought two loaves of very healthy wholesome rye bread, four different kinds of bagels, and two bags of granola cereal. read more

If you're looking for a large space to work while eating artisanal baked goods and delicious coffee, this is it! Since I've moved to OC, I haven't found many spots with good coffee, good food, and a nice work area. Had the bagel breakfast sandwich. Slightly and satisfyingly sour, perfectly crisp outside, chewy inside, amazing savory fillings and spread. Paired with one of the better cappuccinos I've had around here--espresso was pulled well, no bitterness or sourness. The well-foamed milk mixed delightfully with the espresso while drinking, reminding me that life is beautiful despite working on a Saturday morning. The bagel sandwich made it impossible to do any work. Runny egg yolk and spread on the fingers and the urge to immediately take a nap set in hard. It was a gateway into having to get another coffee, so plan on this if you get it and have things to do that day. It's a bit on the pricey side but supporting a local business that uses the most quality local ingredients is always worth it! Plus the folks working were really nice. Will definitely be back! read more

Rye goods has a wholesome take on their coffee and baked goods. The staff were quick with the orders. It is a modernistic and comfy place to sit and have coffee with a few friends! The banana bread had a very strange flavor to it and it was very dense. read more

NOT so Goods Rye! Caraway seeds are what give rye bread it's distinct smell and flavor. There were no caraway seeds in the loaf of rye I purchased for $12.50, which is almost 2x what they charge for it at my regular go to bakery. I was in Santa Ana visiting a friend and searched Bakeries nearby and found Rye Goods, so I gave them a try. Wish I hadn't wasted the time and money, can't get either back. Lesson learned at my expense. read more

I've only been to the Tustin location on the weekend. Given the location I think the weekends are their slow days. Easy to get in, lots of tables both indoors and outside. Excellent service, delicious pastries and bagels. The pastries are more hearty / less delicate than what you might find at other bakeries. Might not be what everyone is looking for but I've really liked everything I've tried. read more

I had such high hopes for this place. It was so cute and a great environment to work in or catch up with friends. I order 3 bagels toasted and they all game out soggy and not toasted at all.

We were near the (new to us) Rye Goods this morning and decided to stop in for breakfast and give it a try. We almost didn't stop by because of the mediocre three star rating--so glad we didn't let that deter us and we will definitely be back for more. The negative reviews Rye Goods has received are incredibly upsetting. This is why we can't have nice things, people!! If you are going to complain about the OC being a culinary wasteland compared to LA, but then you bitch and moan (and leave bad reviews) about places and people who are trying to bring us interesting, delicious, and high quality eats, then you deserve all the chain, mass-market, low quality/low thought goods we have here. Yes, it is expensive. But it comes down to what you personally value. I'm willing to pay higher prices for the highest quality, freshly baked breads and pastries. New flavors, new textures, yes please! The guy below complaining about their obsession with sourdough? WTF, dude, this is what they do! That's their thing! If you're not into it, cool no problem, but don't go and then complain about the very thing they do. And that dude also claims they're hiding their prices? No, they are not hiding their prices, price list is on display on a large sign directly in front of the register. If you're embarrassed to ask the price of an item before you buy it, that's a YOU problem. The people at the counter were super nice and helpful and did not at all seem to mind answering our numerous questions about each product (including cost). Most of the negative reviews are about cost and expectations, not at all about flavor and quality of the baked goods, so just know what the place is about before you go. Our order: 1. Chocolate sourdough loaf (February special)--so freaking good. The bread has a fabulous chewy texture with the tang of sourdough juxtaposed with the rich, creamy dark chocolateyness. 2. Sesame loaf--so many sesame seeds! Crunchy, chewy, tangy, yummy. Looking forward to toasting a slice of this tomorrow with cream cheese and lox. 3. Sesame bagel with cream cheese--devoured it in the car on the way home. This is not a typical NY style bagel, but I'd say it's maybe even better? Wife said it brought a tear to her eye. 4. Coffee cake--plush cake, perfect crumb, not too sweet, generous portion. 5. Carrot cake--we got the last slice of the day! Another generous portion, sweet and satisfying cream cheese icing, cake itself is tender and flavorful with notes of orange and ginger. The two items we didn't especially like were the oolong chai (wayyyyy to gingery) and the pretzel with house-made mustard (flavor of pretzel was very good, glad we tried it, but probably won't feel the need to get it again). I really hope future customers of Rye Goods are able to appreciate what this place has to offer, which is unique and DELICIOUS baked goods made with the highest quality materials, care, and absolute integrity. In Santa Monica, these kinds of places are the norm rather than the exception; in Orange County, such a place is a gem and I for one am thrilled to welcome them to Tustin. read more

I'm happy to pay for high quality baked goods and being a homebaker myself I understand the amount of work and time it takes to create these pastries. Making pastries is hard, but making sourdough pastries is even harder (but with much more health benefits)! So glad this place exists :) read more

I love this place, there's a huge open space right next to the actual bakery where you can lounge, work, study, whatever. First time I went I tried the iced specialty latte with cardamom, it was delicious! Second time I came I had the morning bun. It was end of day so it was a little bit stale but the flavors were nice. I'm looking forward to trying more of the food soon. The shared space is relaxing but I will say that both times I've come the employees of Rye Goods were a little loud and not the most professional. It wouldn't have even stood out if it wasn't for how peaceful and quiet the rest of the place is. But I'll definitely be back for more. read more

Rye Goods - Shared work space and a hot chai latte that my husband said was good. - Bakeries Near Me - Tustin, California

I tried Rye Goods for the first time this past week and had a good first impression of the place overall. Parking is super plentiful as the bakery feels relatively secluded but both the outside and inside feel very spacious and calm because of it. There were plenty of tables and chairs inside making for what seemed like a very good study spot. The staff here were very nice and helpful in explaining all the different items, after which we ended up ordering a cream filled donut, a chocolate honey almond meringue croissant, a chocololate ganache coffee croissant, a brie and caramelized onion savory croissant, a morning bun and an oat porridge loaf. Overall the pastries were all pretty good, with my favorite being the cream filled donut (their most popular item) which tasted liked a brioche donut with strawberry cream inside. The pastries were mostly on the savory side (even the chocolate ones) and were definitely not overly sweet - these could easily be had as breakfast without feeling a sugar rush. Definitely will be back to study over more pastries! read more

I am so happy that this location opened a few months ago! I am gluten intolerant and this is the only sourdough bread that does not upset my stomach so it is worth every penny. They use the highest quality ingredients and my stomach can absolutely tell. For people like me that has a sensitive stomach, it's such a treat to be able to eat a sourdough based croissant. Not every pastry or dessert is safe for me, but their sourdough loafs and plain croissant are! They also pay their employees living wages which I applaud because many of their staff are always so warm and friendly! read more

Think about this for a second... no prices are posted on the product shelves when you choose. They post the prices on a narrow vertical sign on the wall behind you so that you'll see them only after you're face to face with someone asking you for an amount of money that is twice what you'd expect and to save your pride you simply agree to swipe your credit card. The Brioche loaf I bought was $14 and I have to tell you it is the driest loaf of freshly made bread I've ever had. My first impression was that the bread might not have been made that day because when you pick them up and squeeze the loaves they are hard... all of them. So, I asked "this is made today?" and got an answer in the affirmative. Brioche is supposed to be buttery and lightly sweet even, right? Nope, this loaf is whole wheat sourdough. It is so bad actually, nobody in my family will eat it and I'm tempted to throw it out. They have some strange obsession with whole wheat and sourdough at the cost of deliciousness, actually. Literally everything is sourdough; the pastries and loaves and everything. The country sourdough was $12.50 and if you like an extra hard and thick crust, you could say it's really good. But who needs it if it costs $12.50? The pastry I like the best was the morning bun, but beware that they put a hint of herbs in all their pastries. We bought 4 pastries and we tasted sage and rosemary. The pastries cost around $8 each. That's right, that means if you want a dozen croissants it'll cost you ~$100! But my wife wouldn't even eat the croissant it was so unappetizing. Go to Pandor where they know what they are doing and you don't become a part of some crappy vegan sourdough obsessed experiment. read more

I was so excited for this place to open! I couldn't wait to have a local, indie organic bakery to frequent. I am always willing to pay a bit more for organic and to support a small business, but the prices here are ridiculous for okay-ish baked goods. My first visit was opening day. I stood eagerly in the long line, dreaming of a fresh loaf of delicious rye bread. When I got inside I was surprised to find no prices or descriptions displayed. And...Rye Goods does not sell a traditional rye bread. I selected a few items and almost passed out when they told me my total at the register. Here's what $44.24 will buy you: Sourdough boule -- bland, no tangy sourdough flavor, very dense with no tender little air pockets. Seems like a dough development issue. By comparison, the locally baked bread at Trader Joe's is vastly superior in both flavor and texture, for a fraction of the cost. Pumpkin scone -- was savory rather than sweet which was unexpected but okay. The main issue was it was very dry. Caramelized onion/squash croissant -- Tasty but also dry. Much better when I warmed it in the microwave. Baguette sandwich with brie, cucumber, & mint -- excellent combination of flavors on the inside but the bread was so hard I could barely eat it. After getting an abrasion on my mouth trying to take a bite, I wound up picking it apart. I believe the unbiteable sandwich was around $13, the scone and croissant were around $7 each, which would put the loaf of bread in the neighborhood of $17!! Still, I was so enamored with the idea of this little bakery and its lovely, spacious seating area that I decided to give them another try. I invited a friend to meet there for coffee. Total for a small coffee & a croissant: $12.88. If the quality was great, it would be worth the splurge, but again the pastries were so very dry. We asked if they could be warmed and were told no, they don't have a microwave because warming would interfere with the integrity of the product. I mean, if that's the astonishingly arrogant hill they choose to die on... it's a bold stance considering the "Dry Goods" source of wordplay is actually a more accurate name. read more

Rye Goods is deliciously confusing. The pastries are hand-made, artisanal delicacies that are uniquely crafted from 100% organic, locally sourced ingredients. When you look closely at one of the flaky croissants, you will see the freshly milled whole grains of flour. This place is the definition of rustic. There are no shortcuts, no pre-packaged jams, no bleached white flour, not a single mass produced ingredient on site. Everything is au naturale and naturally fermented. However.... I did purchase 3 pastries that came out to $23.52 which is $7.84 per item. As delicious as they were, it was definitely a bit of a sticker shock. I don't think it's super clear to people that the quality of ingredients is unmatched and it's not emphasized in store that everything is biodynamic and ethically sourced. I love the product that they've created and how they approach food production but at these prices, it is hard to make this a daily staple. But then again, a Starbucks caramel macchiato costs about $6 for mass produced flavored syrup with GMO'ed milk so if people can buy one of those everyday, maybe an artisanal pastry is not that far out of reach. read more

If you are serious about artisanal bread, this is the place in Orange County. As the name suggests, they favor rye breads, which is unusual even for the hippest bakeries in L. A. and the Bay Area. But they also have a variety of delicious non-ryes on offer. Highly recommended. read more

I liked their sourdough croissant because it wasn't buttery and sweet. But if you prefer a crunchy, crispy, buttery, sweet croissant, this may not be for you. Their Country Sourdough bread is OK. I went in the morning on a weekday and the place was very quiet with nice aesthetic music and there were enough tables/seats to take. The indoor seating area is also spacious. Also there is plenty of parking! The server was very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. To be honest, I am so glad that south OC has an aesthetic, artisanal bakery like this and that I don't have to travel all the way to LA or Newport for the experience and food. Wish there were more places like this near Tustin/Irvine area. read more
